Go temple hopping

Although there is no wrong or right way, to avoid the crowds, there is a way to visit them. At sunrise, start with Angkor Wat and land a spot either just inside by the beautiful lake so that you can snap that symbolic reflection photos or outside of the temple.
Visit temples off the main grid
Going to the 10th century temple Banteay Srei is a good choice for those who do not have time to spare but are still looking to visit more temples. Taking on a quiet beauty with the surrounding jungle by joining in a one-hour ride outside of town to Beng Mealea, is an ideal selection for the more adventurous.

Full of life at all times of the day, Siem Reap’s Pub Street is an exciting place to visit all day long. For daytime coffee gossiping, it is highly recommended to go to the Café Central. Neon lights at night can show travelers the way to a frenetic blend of Western and Khmer restaurants, like Red Piano, where you can taste some of the most delicious Khmer curries in town. Lasting late into the nights, Angkor What- Bar is what you should not miss for drinks and fun.

Riding a bike around town without a plan or map is the most perfect way to explore Siem Reap and you can get daily bike rental from most hotels and guesthouses. Once hiring a bike, you will immediately explore the many side streets off the cutting line between the river and the center of the city.
Admire picturesque sunset in the countryside
Surrounded by an unbelievable mass of countryside, Siem Reap provides travelers with some closer insight into the make-up of this hustling city. Going quad biking to have a great chance to whizz through the infinite canvas of flat green land, bump along the orange dirt tracks before admiring the incredible sunset over the paddy fields is the latest adventure trend here.
Go shopping at the Night Market

It is wrong to think that night time action in Siem Reap happens at the bars.
